Ian MadManc

I am a fan of Manchester, the music, the people, the buildings and even the buses!

I am a university student but also work part time as a web developer to earn me lots of money to buy my New Order records. Though this is on contract basis

I also deliver leaflets if I am not doing proper work.

I love clubbing and gigging though running out of good clubs to go to.

I am an audiohpile as well so vinyl rules especialy those high quality ones from Factory Records.

This quite hard. I knew New Order were a manc band but that was it. I knew Rob Gretton by site has he was a neighbour but had no idea who he was. It wasn't until he died I realised who he was.

I had already listend to New Order's regret on a Now CD and really liked it. I have heared Blue Monday but had no idea it was New Order. As time progressed I started buying a few New Order singles on vinyl second hand.

The final thing came when I saw 24 Four Hour Party people, I heared some of Joy Division's stuff and loved it. Then I started going to indie clubs and hearing more of this kind of stuff.

I know have loads of New Order and Joy Division albums/singles on vinyl and CD.
